1. Increased productivity
We all know how stressful and draining living in a mega city can be. From spending hours in traffic which can affect your posture to sitting through a hard day's work. All this leads to stress and frequent headaches which can in turn hamper your productivity. The best way to de-stress is taking out time to reflect and relax. A spa massage would give you ample opportunity for this. You get to de-stress and release those tensions. Looking good and feeling relaxed can help boost your mood which you can take into your day to day function, thus increasing productivity.
2. Healthy Skin
Unfortunately, our skin isn't one of those things like wine that gets better with age. As we age, our skin begins to lose its natural ability to do certain things such as producing antioxidants or elastin. All of which are important for healthy, supple looking skin. Thus, we need to take extra care of our skin and what's a better way to take care of your skin than getting treatments. A lot of treatments are offered in a spa ranging from deep cleansing, microdermabrasion, anti-aging facials and several others. A face massage also helps increase blood flow in the skin which has a lot of amazing benefits that would leave your skin feeling much younger and wrinkle-free.
3. Helps with Anxiety and Depression
It's been noted that people with depression often have an elevated level of cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone, which has also been associated with insomnia and other sleep disturbances, when found in elevated levels in the body. Scientific research reveals that the decreased level of cortisol, which is a stress alleviating effect from massage therapy is about 31% and the activating effect, which is the release of feel good hormones, serotonin and dopamine is about 28% and 31% respectively. Serotonin is associated with feelings of happiness, focus and calm whilst dopamine is associated with feelings of rewards, motivation and being productive. When there is a decreased level of these hormones and an increased level of cortisol it leads to anxiety and depression. These 'feel good' hormones work together to boost mood and regulate bodily functions like sleep.
4. Detoxification
Our bodies are filled with toxins from our diet to the environment and even products build up on our skin. A spa visit offers various treatments such as deep cleansing as well as many others that would help get rid of toxins.
5. Great Sex
One of the amazing benefits of a spa visit is an increased libido. Feeling relaxed and being in a happy mood is definitely a good prep to great sex. A couple spa session is a powerful way to communicate affection and share intimacy.
